510:, white-crested elaenia is found in a variety of wooded habitats. Throughout most of its breeding distribution in the Andes, white-crested elaenia is found at forest edge, in second growth, and in scrub. In at least some areas, it breeds in drier intermontane valleys, rather than the more humid forests occupied by Sierran elaenia, but the habitat relationships between the two species have not been studied in detail. In northwestern Argentina, where white-crested elaenia overlaps with small-billed elaenia, there is some degree of segregation by habitat: small-billed elaenia breeds in tall woods, and primarily below 1,500 m (4,900 ft), whereas white-crested elaenia occurs in smaller trees and in agricultural areas, at elevations from 1,500 to 3,500 metres (4,900 to 11,500 ft).

The white-crested elaenia easily is recognizable as an elaenia by the combination of drab plumage (primarily dull green above, and whitish below); wings with conspicuous wing bars (pale tips to the greater and median wing coverts); slightly crested appearance, with a semi-concealed white center to

It regularly consumes small fruit, at least when not breeding, but takes small insects as well. It also eats a large variety of foods such as grass, berries, seeds, and nuts. The white-crested elaenia typically is solitary, but, at least when not breeding, may congregate with other frugivores at

cannot always be distinguished in the field. The length of the species ranges from 13.5 to 15 cm (5.3–5.9 in) and weight is 12.5–24.3 grams (0.44–0.86 oz), with an average of 16.3 grams (0.57 oz).
